What to do and see in Isola d'Ischia, Campania: The Best Cultural Tours

July 12, 2021 Velvet Champine

The largest and many say most beautiful island in the Bay of Naples, Ischia is renowned for its curative spas. Ferries and hydrofoils connect Naples to Ischia Porto, the main town. Nearby at Ischia Ponte (connected to the main island by a foot bridge) are the magnificent Castello Aragonese and Guevara Tower. Forio on the island’s west coast, Lacco Ameno in the northwest and Sant’Angelo in the south are the liveliest resort towns. Casamicciola Terme in the north is one of Europe’s oldest spas.

I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the beauty of Ischia and enjoy the food that Ischia has to offer! The sights were beautiful and we were able to see points of interest that you would not be able to see with a large tour group.. Our tour guide, Paolo, was knowledgeable, friendly and really made the tour a great experience!

I would like to thank Tour Guide Naples for the excellent service and professional employees. The Capri excursion was great with Ugo that he is very professional in his work and even a very nice guy with people.The Blue Grotto was amazing, I know that is not polite to say, but because of the pandemic we enjoyed every place we went in quiet without lining nowhere even at the Blue Grotto we were alone and my kids could even get the permission for a little swim into the cave !!! I want to thank you for everything and for sure if I will have other trip to Italy, you'll be the only 1 company to work with.

Well this was one of our highlights for our time in Europe. Our guide, Paolo, met us at the ferry port to start our exciting day. The ferry ride over was pleasant, then we were met by our driver, another great character. We visited the castle, Paolo was very knowledgeable. We stopped at several places for photos. We decided to stop for lunch, at our expense. Paolo took us to a great restaurant and I tried the local speciality of rabbit and spaghetti, nice. Paolo enaged with us and had a great sense of humour. Highly recommend this tour if you are only visiting for the day.
